Freshman Academy members will exchange folders with new sophomore advisees (last year’s seniors).
PATS will be held every third and six week of a six week period. You will advise only half of the group.
PATS will be used for grade conferencing – progress reports and report cards(attendance and grades). A referral form for problem students is to Graduation coaches (volunteer teachers)
Parent contacts will consist of 3 – beginning, middle and end.

PATS Revisions Continued
All new students will be placed by the counselor with an advisor once school starts.
A trial run of PATS will occur the Thursday before Friday’s PATS for the third six weeks in order to give Freshman teachers time to organize folders.
Folder paperwork has been revised to one sheet where you will check off when you conference and when you make parent contact.
